I need some help identifying what years these two ashtrays are from. The one on the right (the powder coated one) fits in our 69' fleetside

Ball bearings, 67-70, slider 71-72, but ther is some crossover w/70-71

67 is a unique 1 year only slider, and the face is flatter than the 68 - up. So there's a 67 slider, 68-70 ball bearing , 71-72 slider. In your pics, the powercoated ball bearing one is 68 - 70, and the other one is 71 - 72.

You guys never cease to amaze me in you're knowledge about these old trucks

67 face was a little wider also and the slide is straight instead of curved like the 71-72

Up until now I had no idea there was any difference with the ashtrays,I suppose the one's with the ball bearings would slide a little easier=more desirable?

Sometimes its a blessing and curse all at the same time. When I read that, I spouted it off from memory with no hesitation. Other times, I couldn't tell you you what day it is! Sometimes I wish I could Right Click_Delete some of the useless information in my brain. Did you know that a 1966 Special High Performance 273 Chyrsler engine made 275 HP? I do, but I've never had one, never wanted one, and never even seen one. Why in h@$l do I know that?

Actually in my experience the ball bearing ones are the worst. If they are clean and lubed they do OK, but still not as smoothly as the sliders with a light grease on them.

You guys ROCKS! Like I said...this site is well worth the $25 Site Supporter fee. I see this site as Class 101 on 67-72 Chevy/GMC Trucks.

The ball-bearing ones don`t leave as much room for stashing things because of the sliding carriage.
